[drama 2008] Robbers 불한당

Replies

Are you stalking me in two threads?You've had 26 minutes of Happy Hour already, and it's FRIDAY. Yay!How much have you drunk so far? Pace yourself, woman! I'm telling Mom!The night is still young... Heck, the sun hasn't even set, yet, here on the West Coast!

well, yes i am ! but you're important to the process!don't tell mom - she doesn't know to be disappointed in me yet!

your team won? that's a good omen -it means Oh Joon will win his fight against cluster cranial aneurisms....

o-cha, I agree with what you said about OJ and JG at the gym too. You could see how JG's flickering his eyes, trying to hold on to himself, urging himself not to fall into OJ's words, which sadly, he thought were true too. And altho OJ looked tough on the outset.. I felt he was also trying to hide how insecure and incapable he felt at that moment. It probably struck him hard that it was reality that he didn't have the ability there and then to raise a family. BUT, I loved how he tried to look positive and dominant over JG tho.. cos I didn't quite like how JG used his father as a way to break DR and OJ apart. I know he's desperate and worried for DR, but again, it's not quite like his character to do such a thing. I really don't want him to turn evil..

OJ gave me hope, saying that he has DR and he can do anything with her and by thinking of her all the time.. I loved how DR has gradually come to be his motivation to live stronger and work hard. It's really very heartwarming..

Amber chinggu, loved your poetic and articulate review of Ep 11. I kept nodding reading every single thing you wrote. Esp your last paragraph, which everybody quoted. The drama's just full of HEART, and it just warms up to you with different portrayals of emotions. Happiness. Sadness. Delight. Cheerfulness. The drama doesn't focus on one singular emotion but brings to you different scenes which manage to make you smile, laugh, cry, cringe..etc.

lilyrose, I'm glad you're back from your Robbers or Soompi hiatus. All of us have been waiting patiently for your reviews..heehehehe..

On Ep 11, I can't say it any better than you did.. it was a very right on spot review..There was one thing that I agreed 100% with you tho.. that DR's just as pure as a ray of sunshine. That was exactly what I was thinking during the scene of DR urging MD to take his vitamins. It's just that you used the right words to describe her. (I can never get to your level of writing..hehehe..so I just quoted and agreed! )

Back to DR, I just love her positive energy..If everybody could be like DR, the world would totally be a better place..

I really really loved the part of DR helping OJ to clean up his gym. It showed how much DR was willing to give, for the love she has for this guy OJ. And I duno..but I noticed this one little thing about DR holding OJ's phone, I thought that was a pretty nice touch by the scriptwriter. The detail emphasised on how DR's already in OJ's life was brought out by that scene. You know how personal a mobile phone is to a person and you won't just give it to anybody. But here, we have DR holding OJ's phone.. I know it's a minor thing.. but to me, it meant a lot. It solidified OJ and DR's relationship. DR and OJ actually share something in common now. They both have so much TRUST in each other. They are just soooooo IN LOVE..

And on to the scene with OJ-DR and Soon Dae..omo.. that scene nearly made me cry. Just like what o-cha said, I was on the verge of tears watching that heartwarming and endearing scene. It was tears of happiness (I remembered the last time I cried because of happiness.. it was in Dal Ja's Spring.. when Dal Ja came into the office seeing her colleagues's flower and balloons..saying farewell to her.) really.. seeing how OJ has finally stepped into DR's house, realised his dreams of doing all the housechores with his family..aigoo.... it was just BEAUTIFUL. And my, really.. OH JOON or Jang Hyuk looked simply HOT and sexy in that red turtle neck... even the ahjuma hair didn't seem that irritating anymore. BUT BUT BUT.. you know what, I cried I really cried.. tears came out when OJ asked DR whether he could really go to Soon Dae's kindergarten.. as her father. That minute, I thought of how DR, OJ and SD could be such a beautiful family, and that they can live happily ever after.. and then an image of OJ's brain tumor (well I read the spoilers before watching Ep 11) flashed thru my mind.. and in an instant, I felt soooooo bad for both OJ and DR. The feeling was really bitter.. Altho I've kind prepared for something like this to happen, I really didn't expect it to come off this depressing for me.. I really can't imagine how I'm gonna handle it.

I think I'll neeeed a lot of Kleenex.. the others, you guys can rely on your wine to get rid of the bitterness..

And oh, overall, I thought Ep 11 was a great episode. Again, it was full of heart. And despite the minor glitches..like the sudden discovery of OJ's tumor at the last scene, which indeed seemed a bit abrupt to speak for itself, Ep 11 was a very enjoyable episode for me.

okay so now my jumble of thoughts from eps 11….First of all I want to say that I really enjoyed episode 11. It definitely made me cry and laugh and I had a great time watching…so much so that I missed Lost…

YOWDY! what's with the tumour thing?!i'm crossing my fingers and hoping a miracle would happen. the directors, hopefully, wouldn't come up with a sad cliche ending. so far, it's a great drama. perfect cast and with lots of heartwarming scenes and some funny ones too.but seriously, NO sad endings please.coz those absolutely suck. DANG DANG DANG.

on the subject of brain issues....the preview for BAD LOVE ep. 19 , indicates the 2nd male lead - dies of a brain tumor -they can't do that in 2 dramas showing at the same time.....pretty please?i keep hoping that they won't do that in 2 shows at the same time!

I'm sort of glad we didn't get Ep.12 this week. It gives us more time to savor Ep.11.

JG and OJ "posturing" at the gym. PART 1.OJ in a sexy red turleneck.

OJ: This place may look shabby, but it's the most comfortable place to me. What did you want to say to me?JG: Do you know how much it'll cost until Soon Dae graduates from college? JG proceeds to list off all the different costs for things...The total cost amounts to 230,000,000 Won ($230,000)... Do you have that money? It'll cost more if she then goes to study abroad. Do you have 500 million Won ($500k)? Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to use it.

OJ: Look here...

JG: 500 million's a lot. Do you even have 50 million ($50k) or 5 million ($5,000)? You don't, right? Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to use it for Soon Dae. $30,000 in principal and another $30,000 in interest. Even at this moment, your debt is accruing interest. You have to live the rest of your life paying off your debt, so how the heck do you think you're going to marry Dal Rae sshi? Do you really want to ruin(?) her like that? Kwon Oh Joon sshi...

OJ: That's right. I'm penniless. Yeah, I don't have a conscience or any shame. And on top of that I'm a selfish son-of-a-b!tch. I'll admit it. I'll acknowledge what you say. I don't have that kind of right....IS...what I'm supposed to say? Huh? (The same wordplay that JG used on DR. LOL!!)

OJ: But right now, even though you say those things with no manners whatsoever, it's okay. I have no problems at all. Know why? Because my back is strong. I have a backer. Who is it? Jin Dal Rae. Wan't me to confirm? Jin Dal Rae. One more time? JIN DAL RAE... Eh?

OJ: And here, how many people do you think can come in here? If I work hard, I can bring in at least 20 people. $80 for 1 person x 20, that's $1,600. If I give half to my teacher, that's $800. Then half of that to Cash and Check, that's $400 for one time. If I do that 10 times, that's $4,000. Then multiply that by 12 months, that's $48,000. Then after year, if I become the guarantor, I won't have to pay my teacher, and that makes $96,000. Another year, and after paying off the Cash and Check people...calculates...$192,000,000...half of that is $96,000. Take that over 10 years, and then I can send my Soon Dae to college and to study abroad, with more left over. JG: How can you live so naively? How do you think you can in one year...OJ: That's right. So, you're boasting because you earn that much in one morning? Good for you. Even so, I'm stronger. Why? Because I have a backer. Who is that? Jin Dal Rae. Just wait and see. Watch how cool I, the one that DR chose, become. I have to be a cool man, so then you'll be less hurt. Huh? I'll be cool for you. I'll be the coolest man in the world! And also, my being able to laugh as I'm winning ends right here. From now on, if you mess with me or DR, then you're in trouble. Why? Because my strength overflows. Want to see, Mr. Kim Jin Goo Fund Manager? Watch carefully.<--- Oh, you sexy man! Bring it on!

hjkomo - lol you're so funny. thanks for those caps!i just started watching robbers and i love it. well i just mainly love janghyuk. the man is an amazing actor! sadly i depend on subs, so im currently moping around this thread reading previews and looking at caps.

OJ: Watch carefully. Do you see this ? My fists don't hurt, even if they're bleeding. Why? Because I have Dal Rae sshi. Huh?

OJ: This isn't the end. Can you do push-ups with your thumb? I can. Why? You already know now. Just watch....One, two...I can do it because I have Dal Rae sshi.<- Yeah, just look away, Jin Goo. You'll never have that body.

Okay, so I got a little carried away with the screencaps.....but, isn't this worth the wait of not having Episode 12 yet?

** WARNING **

OJ: And there's one last thing - Can you (??)? I can do it. Now, my mouth hurts. You know why? Just watch. This is something really hard to do.

I'm too strong - because of MY DAL RAE SSHI!! I'm saying I CAN DO EVERYTHING!! My strength overflows!! BECAUSE I HAVE DAL RAE SSHI!!!! Can I have your babies, too?

Whoo!!! I think I need a spa day just to recover... Good thing the hubby's already asleep!

Crap, I can feel another cold coming on. It better not be another SHMOCKING COUGH FROM HELL! (for those of you who haven't visited the Insoon Is Pretty thread (another beautifully moving anti-cliche drama, btw), shmocking is canyayasis' word for "shockingly mocking") *runs off to take some Airborne*

Goodnight and sleep tight! May you dream of a shirtless Jang Hyuk! I know I will.

wow! you knew when you were watching that scene - that the dynamics were over the top.those screen caps are fantastic, hjkomo!thank you! what a way to start the day -it shows that our guy Oh Joon has finally learned real power, the power of love!ohhhhh poor Jingoo sshi -his parallel experience in the power of love was eating a lettuce wrap - and hugging a child...considering the dynamics of each men's strengths and weaknesses -both have grown leaps and bounds!

p.s. hjkomo - you are a gift from heaven - and i'm not shmocking you!I really mean it - feel better - no colds allowed !

Brain power is stronger than any others! JG, buy a gun and shoot him . After that, can he still alive because of Dal Rae ssi . He is not cool at all, such a noisy man. A real man should not be noisy like him .

And somemore you've got your hubby and your wine classes to deal with..Anywayz, news about Robbers Eps airing schedule.Ep 12 will air next Wednesday same time slot..And on Valentines Day, 14th Feb, we will have 2 consecutive eps of Robbers, EP 13 and Ep 14! So we have 3 episodes in a row next week... guys, prepare the wine! =P

Good morning! Well, so far, I've been able to hold the evil cold virus demons at bay...for now. I hope it was just the fatigue of my Wed and Thurs, but pretty much all the kids are sick at the moment, so I know it's just a matter of time...

I thought OJ's phone was pretty cute. It says: Dal Rae, Dal Rae, only Dal Rae. HeartHow cute! But, it's OJ's phone, and it's a picture of OJ. Shouldn't it be a picture of DR?I guess it makes sense in this scene, since it's DR who has his phone and is missing him.

More of OJ in his sexy red turtleneck.OJ & DR make a list.1. Tell Omma and get her approval.2. Tell Noona and get her approval.OJ: Noona? My sister? Why...what do we need to do that for? We greeted her last time...uh, yes...

3. Soon Dae's school.Oh, there's an event once or twice a year for parents. This one's for the fathers. When I said I was doing it in place of her father, she was very dissatisfied. She wants you to do it. What? You don't want to?OJ: Get approval from Mom. Tell Noona. And playing Soon Dae's dad. Can I really do these things?DR: You can't believe it? OJ: This is the first time I've made this kind of list(?). I've never made one before. Is it really okay for me to do this?DR: Of course, it's more fun to go down the list one by one. We can do well.OJ: I just have to write these down here, and then do them, right?DR: That's what I said.

OJ starts writing secretly. DR: What are you writing?OJ: Nothing.DR: What is it? Let me see.OJ: Just a minute...DR: Let me see...it's okay...

6. Kiss Dal Rae a million times.7. Make a younger sibling for Soon Dae.OMO, OMO...what the...OJ: It's because the child looks too lonely. He goes in for the kiss, but SD's movement prevents them. (Darn!)You should have put her to bed in her room. She looks cold...
